WHAT FIBER BREAKAGE?
Fibrillar rupture, also known as muscle tear or fiber rupture, is a frequent injury in sports practice. This type of injury occurs when several muscle fibers break, and the severity of the tear and the recovery time depend on the number of fibers affected and the muscle damaged.
Generally, fibrillar rupture occurs due to a sudden elongation of the muscle or a severe contraction with elongation. It is most common during explosive, fast movements or movements involving changes of pace, affecting mainly the legs. The most prone areas include quadriceps, calves, hamstrings and adductors, although it can occur in any muscle, such as the abdominals or arms.
HOW DOES FIBER RUPTURE HEAL?
Treatment for a fibrillar tear depends on the severity of the injury and may include measures such as rest, icing, compression, elevation (RICE method), anti-inflammatory medication and physical therapy. Recovery time varies depending on the extent of the tear and the muscle affected, and may require weeks to months for complete healing.
HOW CAN PRESSOTHERAPY HELP THE RECOVERY PROCESS?
Pressure therapy, a technique that uses controlled air pressure to improve blood and lymphatic circulation, has been shown to be beneficial in the recovery of muscle injuries such as fibrillar tears. Some key benefits of pressotherapy in this context would be improved circulation, reduced inflammation and relief of pain and fatigue.
INCORPORATION OF PRESSOTHERAPY IN THE TREATMENT
During the treatment of a fibrillar rupture, pressotherapy can be used as a complement to other therapies recommended by health professionals. Integrating regular pressotherapy sessions into the rehabilitation plan can optimize results and help accelerate the athlete’s return to normal activities.
